SWC Free Walk 163, Brockenhurst Circular, 4/3/12.

What a difference a week makes! After the drought conditions of Essex comes the water meadows of The New Forest! Didn't realise a forest could be so wet!
This is a 10 mile circular walk through a delightful environment (out of season!) but, unfortunately, the rain prevented the filming of the first half; luckily, this was the less-interesting part as it involved a section of quiet road walking and passing through camping areas. A forest is a forest, so what was missed in the morning is similar to what was filmed later.
After lunch at Bank, filming resumed and some of the Forest's highlights recorded.
Has the potential to be a very nice walk (out of holiday times!) for those able to follow a map and use a compass, as there are few way marks.
(Whole point of travelling the distance south west was to avoid the rain, but weathermen got their timings wrong -again!).
